You fixed your swing — but can't tell what actually changed. You study tour pros, yet can't see where your swing truly differs. Lessons look great on screen, but never click for your own swing. SwingClone is a golf-focused swing comparison app that puts your swing right next to a model — side by side or overlaid — so the difference is obvious at a glance. Instead of relying on feel, you compare two videos frame by frame and see exactly what's different and by how much. Use a pro's swing, your own past best shot, or a lesson clip as your reference, and close the gap to your ideal swing. ■ Compare two videos at once Three layouts: side-by-side, stacked, or overlay. Play your swing and a pro's in sync to spot the difference instantly. In overlay mode, adjust opacity to reveal exactly where you drift. Pinch to zoom and drag to line up position and size perfectly. ■ Slow motion & frame-by-frame Slow all the way down to 1/10x speed, then step one frame at a time — forward or back — to dissect takeaway, top, impact and follow-through. Loop any section to review it again and again. ■ Swing phases Mark Address, Top, Impact and Finish once, then jump straight to any phase with a tap — so you compare both swings at the exact same moment. ■ Draw to coach yourself Draw circles, triangles, boxes and lines right on the video to mark your swing plane, spine angle and head position. Visualize your tendencies with 6 colors, move/erase, and full undo/redo. ■ Tempo trainer A built-in metronome keeps your ideal 3:1 tempo so you groove the rhythm of your backswing and downswing. Set it by BPM or by swing time, with background playback so you can train on the range. ■ Trim & notes for accuracy Align the start point to the moment the club moves for frame-accurate comparison, and keep notes to track your progress over time. ■ Organize your library Manage every clip with tags, favorites and memos. Sort your own swings and references, and build a comparison set whenever you want. Who is it for? • Golfers who want to fix lesson feedback through video comparison • Players who can't see the difference between their swing and the pros • Anyone serious about lowering their score with objective analysis • Coaches who want to show students exactly how their form differs • Beginners who want to compare their swing to the "right" form Privacy All videos are stored only on your device — nothing is uploaded to the cloud. Clone the swing you're chasing. Terms of Use: https://swingclone.hokkapp.com/ja/terms Privacy Policy: https://swingclone.hokkapp.com/ja/privacy
